This workshop is grounded within the H2020 project SISCODE aimed at:
i) experimenting co-creation methodologies in policy design for Science and Technology Innovation (STI); ii) understanding the conditions and transformations needed to introduce co-creation in STI policy-making, overcoming barriers and resistance to change.
Because of the involvement of 10 “co-creation labs” (living labs, fab labs and science museums) across Europe, the project has an experimental approach: the labs are engaged (with scientists, stakeholders and end users) in a long-term co-creation process from the phase of understanding a problem and designing a solution, to the phase of implementing it by means of prototypes.
Drawing on the experience gained within SISCODE’s co-creation activities, some of the co-creation labs will be engaged in this workshop to discuss with stakeholders and practitioners their ongoing experimentation, exploring more effective ways to conceive policies that are able to connect policy design with citizens and grassroots initiatives.
